ISDN is only available in two speeds: 64 Kbps and 128 Kbps, both of which are significantly slower than most DSL connections. ISDN is subject to additional per-minute fees in many locations. ISDN fees can easily range into the hundreds of dollars on a monthly basis. Internet service providers often charge $30-$150 a month to provide Internet access to ISDN customers.

DSL will be the cause of ISDN's demise for several reasons: - ISDN is only available in two speeds: 64 Kbps and 128 Kbps, both of which are significantly slower than most DSL connections. - ISDN sometimes offers dedicated, always on access but not always. Furthermore, ISDN is subject to additional per-minutes fees in many locations. ISDN fees can easily be in the hundreds of dollars on a monthly basis. -ISP's will charge between $30-150 a month to provide Internet access to ISDN customers.

Like our dedicated ISDN connections, Spindlemedia Wireless service is always on; there’s never a busy signal. Unlike DSL, the service speed does not diminish with distance from the network (in this case, not the central office, but the base station). Unlike IDSN and T1 connections, which may be connected to the Public Service Telephone Network (PSTN), Spindlemedia Wireless service, functions like a private network IP connection between you the end-user and Spindlemedia.

ADSL offers a cheaper and faster service than ISDN. ISDN works by providing two voice channels or a 128 Kbps data channel while ADSL is predominantly a data pipe providing an asymmetrical bandwidth of up to 6 Mbps downstream and 640 kbps upstream. However, the ADSL network is an overlay network and therefore does not require the expensive and time-consuming switch upgrades that held ISDN back for so long.

Like our dedicated ISDN connections, Total Access Wireless (wDSL) service is always on; there's never a busy signal. Unlike DSL, the service speed does not diminish with distance from the network (in this case, not the central office, but the base station). Unlike ISDN and T1 connections, which may be connected to the Public Service Telephone Network (PSTN), Total Access Wireless service, functions like a private network IP connection between you, the end-user, and Total Access Wireless.

When considering an ISDN or DSL line, know the pros and cons. Cost: ISDN through the telephone company costs an average of $60 / mo., plus a connection fee, and DSL is usually about $45 / mo. Sometimes connection fees are discounted when signing a one year term agreement (check with your provider). With ISDN, you should get 2 to 3 times faster downloads, and DSL is generally 10 - 20 times faster than dial up.

Unlike DSL or Cable Modem, our service does not depend on telephone or cable TV infrastructure. This enables Phoenix Internet to reach many neighborhoods where DSL and Cable Modem are unable or unwilling to go. Our service plans offer performance comparable to DSL and Cable Modem, but with some important differences. Superior customer service because we are a local company and can be at your location within hours if necessary.

Neither DSL or Cable is better all the time under all conditions. The data transfer rates you can get from either DSL or Cable will depend entirely on whatever local providers are in your area. As a rule of thumb, DSL speeds will depend upon the actual distance your building is from the nearest central office of your ISP. For Cable Internet, connection speeds can be affected by the amount of Internet use in your particular neighborhood.

That all depends upon the telephone companies offering both services. The two services are not the same -- ISDN provides two voice channels or a 128 Kbps data channel while DSL is predominantly a data pipe providing an asymmetrical bandwidth of up to 8 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream under good conditions. However, an DSL access network will be an overlay network and therefore will not require the expensive and time-consuming switch upgrades that held ISDN back for so long.

The system should not influence a DSL or ISDN at all. Because the internet traffic is on a different frequency, it is not perceived by the phone as being a phone call.

MegaSPEED is an affordable software-only solution designed to significantly enhance Web access over low-speed (less than 200 kbps/second) connections. By contrast, DSL and cable modems provide high-speed Internet connectivity using hardware solutions that work with special telephone or cable lines. The price for DSL or cable modem is significantly higher than MegaSPEED Accelerator. In addition to the higher price, many areas simply do not have DSL or cable Internet service available.

Cable is frequently oversubscribed, meaning that the cable company doesn't use enough high-speed connections to the Internet backbone for the number of users on their system which causes Internet access to slow down. DSL is limited by distance. DSL speeds decrease the farther away from the telephone company's central office (CO) you are, and doesn't work at all if you are more than 18,000 feet away (About 3 to 4 miles). There are a couple of reasons.

Cable modems run over coaxial cable lines. Cable is service only offered by your local cable provider (usually only one choice is available) and is considered to be a form of Internet sharing. The number of users online determines access speeds from cable service.

Generally DSL is a smoother ride than cable Internet. LavaNet DSL is favored by businesses and people running networks or servers because it usually saves money and delivers more features than a similarly endowed cable Internet connection. Please call LavaNet for a price comparison! Neither DSL nor cable Internet make any claim of sustainable data rates.

T1 is a technology that bundles several phone lines together to provide downstream access speeds of 1.54 Mbps. The decision between DSL and T1 access when DSL is readily available is a straightforward one due to pricing. Normally, for the same high bandwidth access, a business will pay significantly more every month for a T1 line as it would for DSL. Additionally, installation for a T1 line is generally far more expensive than installation and setup of DSL services.
